The per-packet headers in the file formats are mapped to information in a
common format, but the packet data isn't - the packet data's interpretation
depends on the Wiretap encapsulation type, and not all Wiretap encapsulation
types are supported in all capture file formats.  The set of encapsulations
supported by pcap and pcap-ng are listed at
